I'm going back to school

[Trevor]

I'm rereading my digital math textbook and I had to share this.

My internship starts tomorrow and my sleep schedule will be altered. I'm not a morning person, but because it took the college about a month to find a school for me and the schools background check took about a week for them to complete I'm kind of stuck with the hours because I need to get 72 before the semester ends. I'll be a zombie for a bit until my body gets used to it.

I've been really busy since the internship started. The teacher who is my supervisor is great. There is a lot of Star Wars stuff in her room along with a literal "Rock Wall" pictured below.



My body has adjusted to being much more active earlier in the day then it was before the internship stared and my sleep schedule has been altered. The big draw back besides needing all the hours in a short period time, as I mentioned above, is that the hours I'm doing the internship were what I had set aside for my school stuff, and this case my other classes. It's been tricky getting the timing correct. The last two weeks I had a big thing due each week that I turned in literally hours before they were due as a result of the time crunch.

I've been ok at managing it so far, but now is the mid point in the semester -  every semester after the midpoint I get a lot more things that need to be done for all my classes.

I also have a big project which involves be getting involved in a community activity where I don't get paid for my services that I haven't started yet. It only requires two hours of my time but it's been pretty difficult to find something that would qualify for this per the criteria. I'll figure it out.

today was pretty awesome - I finally got to do something besides just sit, observe and take notes

I got the worst behaved kid in the class to focus on what he was reading, not be distracted by other students behavior, got him to sound out words he was having trouble with and had him explain what we were reading (I was reading along with him)

extra bonus points because we were reading a Star Wars book

today I helped 2 students with math

I think this really well considering I do not like math and working with 2 students at once was a little tougher then I expected

also on my way out of class today some of my 3rd graders hugged me  

and one of the teachers at the school was really impressed that I'm also taking 3 classes on top of the internship

today was nice - I taught a student what an aisle is

I've been really tired the last 2 weeks because of the hours I need for the internship combined with the college taking much longer then I would've liked to find a school for me. I think I'll make the 72 hours. But, I'm still struggling with the time management for my other classes as this internship has ate pretty much all the time I used for school stuff the past year. I just didn't have time to finish things until a few hours before they were due and I hate that.


I found something for my community project which I need to contact the person in charge it.

I'm also almost done with my 40 book project which has been a real time eater, but an enjoyable one for the most part.

Even though it is only Tuesday Trevor, I am going to give you my most groanworthy pun of the week award. :P

I love me some bad jokes and puns

Today I got the entire class to be in awe and shocked at me. Usually I  keep my voice at a quiet level, taking a lot of notes and helping the students with whatever - usually reading and math.

Today I saw the worst behaved student in the class was not keeping his hands to himself and was punching another student or play fighting, I couldn't tell. As this as going on the entire class was very loud and my supervising teacher was organizing something at her desk and couldn't see what was going on because of where she was sitting. I raised my voice, so it was above that of the class and said keep your hands to yourself. He stopped and my supervising teacher was impressed at my actions.

[bob]

Over 100% - in all my classes, just need to finish strong -- then I can catch up in sleep when I'm done.

I'm all registered for next semester. I'm disappointed that I won't have a class with my favorite teacher and have 2 with the one who I've had issues with. Oh well.

my supervising teacher thought this was my last week, it isn't I decided that will be next week, and told the class

some of the students wrote me good bye letters

I once had a student fall asleep in a lecture I was giving: I actually had to tap on the desk before he woke up. I didn't think that I was THAT boring a speaker
